A differential data array group, which have at least a plurality of pairs of a differential data to transmit a serial signal, includes difference absolute value data having a plurality of bits to represent an absolute value obtained by converting gray scale level data of red, green and blue to binary number data, and sign data having at least one bit to represent a sign of the gray scale level data. With respect to one pair of the differential data, gray scale level data corresponding to one pixel are arranged in an ascending order or a descending order. With respect to another pair of the differential data, the sign data corresponding to one pixel are arranged into a former half or a latter half of a time period corresponding to one pixel. Data of a highest order bit of the difference absolute value data corresponding to one pixel are arranged into the latter half or the former half of the time period corresponding to one pixel.

A liquid crystal displaying method includes: multiplying, a difference value of luminance information and a difference value of color-difference information each by an emphasis coefficient α (α is a positive real number); adding the luminance information in which the input image information has been delayed for one frame period and the color-difference information in which the input image information has been delayed for one frame period to the difference value of the luminance information multiplied by the emphasis coefficient α and the difference value of the color-difference information multiplied by the emphasis coefficient α, respectively, to obtain emphasized image information. The difference value of the luminance information is the luminance information of the input image information having the luminance information and the color-difference information subtracted from the luminance information in which the input image information has been delayed for one frame period. The difference value of the color-difference information is the color-difference information of the input image information subtracted from the color-difference information in which the input image information has been delayed for one frame period.

An image display apparatus for displaying images based on signals of an input image is provided. A backlight emits light. A liquid crystal panel modulates light emitted from the backlight. A emission intensity calculating unit calculates an emission intensity of the backlight such that a center value of a lightness range displayable on the panel defined depending on the emission intensity of the backlight substantially agrees with a center value between maximum and minimum values of lightness of each signal of the input image. A backlight controlling unit controls light emission of the backlight such that the light is emitted with the emission intensity. A signal correcting unit corrects each signal of the input image in accordance with the emission intensity. A liquid crystal controlling unit controls modulation of the liquid crystal panel based upon the corrected signals.
